Women, Infants & Children (WIC)
Breastfeeding, Community and Nutrition Resources
Breastfeeding is good for mom and great for baby. Breast milk is the perfect food for your baby's first year of life and provides many health benefits such as:
- Fewer infections
- Less tooth decay
- Fewer allergy problems
- Fewer earaches
- Fewer weight problems
The staff of your WIC clinic is there for you, to answer any questions you might have. WIC staff is trained to help moms with breastfeeding questions and offer needed support.
Breastfeeding mothers also receive extra foods to nourish mom at this important time.
